Vince aka Banky grew up as a child wanting to build things. From Lincoln logs, Legos, the game Mouse Trap, etc., he became excited at what connects things and what is dependent upon what to build something truly beautiful and functional. Vince fulfills his dreams as an IT strategy architect for a fortune 300 company . . . and now, much like Pedro, he wants to fulfill yours as President.
To quote Robert F. Kennedy and his brother John before him:
“I do not run for the presidency merely to oppose any man but to propose new policies.”
It is my opinion that this country is on a perilous course and the three most imminent threats to our survival are environmental, economic, and the global threat of terrorism, all of which are perpetuated daily by the current administration.
To quote him:
“Why me? Why not me? Why not you for that matter? Do you have a voice? Do you want to be heard? Do you believe like I do that things need to be done and people need to be helped? Well then help me make a difference. After all, a difference is dying to be made.”
We don’t have to rely on the policy makers to enact the kind of change we wish to see in the world. Sometimes all it takes is a smile . . . or a helping hand. Ultimately the most lasting mark we’ll make on the world is measured by the impact we make on our communities, both virtual and physical.
For in the final analysis, “At stake is not simply the leadership of a party or even our country.”
It may be our survival.
